Brief Medjool Date Background

The date fruit can be credited for allowing Western Civilization to develop. The date fruit is a very ancient fruit. The date fruit was part of the staple diet of the ancient people of Sumeria and the middle east were western civilization began. In early Sumeria, dates fruit were comparable to bread in Europe. Dates were a staple food of the ancient middle east and even today are still widely eaten. References to honey in the Bible and other ancient documents are believed to be references to a honey made from dates. A food made from milk and date honey is commonly eaten today and was probably eaten in ancient times. Dates have a lot of nutritients and good to prevent certains types of cancers. The nutritional value of dates makes the date fruit a powerfood. The pictures of the date trees (date palms, no such thing as date trees, but commonly called date trees) show how dates are grown. The date fruit grows in clusters at first the fruit is green and grows into a yellow fruit. The medjool date is reduced by hand picking some dates to allow the remaining dates to grow bigger. If the date is allowed to remain on the tree it will dry out, you get dried fruit naturally if allowed to stay on the tree for several months past the harvesting season. Even medjool dates dry out if left on the date palm. The date fruit is harvested in fall and can be stored for a long time. In the Middle East the date fruit is eaten year round and stored without refrigeration. The dates most commonly eaten in the Middle East are mildly sweet and much dryer and much smaller than the Medjool date. The Medjool date gets much sweeter with time, but it does dehydrate with time. The Medjool date is so sweet that it is prepared by essentially encasing it in a shell of sugar leaking from the date fruit itself. The Medjool date is eaten more as a dessert food than as a staple food, but the same is not true of the less sweet dates, which are part of the staple diet of the Middle East

We do not offer Ramadan Dates. The Ramadan Date is a variety of date that is edible before ripening. The Medjool date is not available until after Ramadan when it is harvested. The Ramadan date is really an unripen date, or other dates taken out of storage from the previous year's harvest. Ramadan starts August 1 and requires fasting during day hours, but dates commonly eaten before sunrise and after sunset. The date is mentioned in many religious literature, because the date has been around since the beginning of many religions.
